State Historic Preservation Office funding
July 2
The State Historic Preservation Office could possibly lose funding due to delays in federal grants and state funding.
If their funding is not received by August 2025, they will be forced to shut down their operations. This would have statewide effects on infrastructure projects, funding of rural governments, tribal consultations and local tourism.
Jim McPherson, Board President of the Arizona Preservation Foundation and the Arizona Advisor for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, joined “Arizona Horizon” to provide insight on funding for the State Historic Preservation Office.
